Workday SMB AE - Finance
Hey yall, High chance I get an offer from workday for a SMB AE on the financial planning team. Anyone have experience with Workday sales, or for the financial planning product in particular? What was it like working there and did you work for customer base or net new business? #sales #ae #workday
No way, stay away from anything financials at Workday. SMB is going to be difficult too because WD is expensive. You are going to be tangling with 10 competitors who all have lower prices and similar products.
I would be working with only current workday customers. People who are already using their HR solution
Even still, no. I work in this space, Enterprise side. Oracle is dominating in Cloud Financials. It isn't even close. Oracle has a vastly superior product and is less costly than WD. Not just saying this because I work at Oracle. They are formidable in HCM because HR people are WD fans but not in financials.
I was a customer. Product really sells itself as most companies need a financial planning tool and it works really well with the HR system. When finance people move from company to company they keep using the same tool - which is what I am doing since I moved.
